MITTEN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,838, dated May 24, 1881.

Application filed April 15, 1881.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM WT. WHIT- AKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gloversville, in the county of Fulton and 5 State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Mittens; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it lo appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.| and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention consists of a mitten having a I5 two-ply wrist, singleply back, and singlerply front or palm,and single-ply thumb, all knit in a continuous piece, and th'e palm and thumb covered with leather.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 zo represents the knit blank for the mitten. Fig. 2 is a view of the leather palm, thumb, and border-pieces ready to be attached to the knit blank. Fig. 3 shows the nished mitten, and Figs. 4 and 5 are detached views or sections.

` 25 ln the manufacture of my improved mitten,

(No model.)

the edge a is overstitched, and the border-pieces E and F attached and overstitched at one edge, as shown at G in Fig. 2; also the leather thumb H' is nrst made wrong side out,bya throughand-through stitch, and then attached to the 35 palm-leather A by a double seam or throughand-through stitch. Now, the leather is all ready to be attached to the knit blank, Fig. 1. The palm-leather and border-strips are first united by a through-andthrough stitch, which is done while the leathers are turned wrong side out. Then the palm-leather A and border-strips E and F and thumb-leather H are placed on the knit blank, all being right side out, and the leather attached to the knit blank 45 by any suitable stitch, but most conveniently by a machine, (and a through-and-through stitch,) the arm of the machine working inside of the mitten and carrying the needle and feed.

Having thus described my invention, l 5o claim- A mitten having a two-ply wrist, single-ply back, single-,ply palm, and a thumb, all knit in one continuous piece, substantially as set forth.
